[MacDV] Re: iPhoto?

[Ed Holt]

Erica, I liked your idea about burning direct from the album screens in
iPhoto. The trouble I had with your method was that several of the photos
had the same name (the default name my digital camera gives them -
DSC0001.jpg etc)  and were thus left off the cd I wanted to burn. Only 20
out of 29 made it to Toast. Changing the title of the photo in iPhoto didn't
change the name of the .jpg file either. I didn't expect it too.

To make this work I would have to track down the 9 duplicates, Most likely
in various day folders and some in different month folders and then rename
them. Seems like to much work. Also not sure how iPhoto would handle me
changing the names of files that had already been imported. So I guess I'm
still looking for the easy way to get these albums out.
